Stand up for your rice

Stand up for your rice. One-and-a-half or two years ago, this might have been a suggestion we made to Lennie. But today, it’s Lennie’s rendition of Bob Marley’s rebellious classic “Stand up For Your Rights.” She heard it in the car with M the other day and started singing it unprompted.

Last weekend while out and about with her, I prompted Lennie to sing the refrain from Sting’s “Roxanne,” and she belted out “you don’t have to put on the red light” with much gusto.

I continue to encourage her to sing both songs. Kanye West and Tenacious D remain on the list of artists I can’t listen to in front of Lennie.
